TPQG Exhibition Part 3

We were very lucky to have some gorgeous novelty entries at our exhibition.

 Rex the rhinoceros was really cool and very colourful.

Here are some very cool boxes made by club members.

There was definitely a good display and variety at our exhibition. I can't decide which novelty is my favourite, I like them all. Which is your favourite?

TPQG Exhibition Part 2 - The Challenge Entries - Colour My Quilt

Okay,  here are the Challenge Entry requirements and results.

We all received a paint sample, the colour of which we had to match to fabric and use a recognisable amount of this fabric in the quilt. The name of the paint sample became the name and subject matter of our quilt.

Size was 24 inches high by 16 inches wide - portrait orientation and had to have three layers with binding.

Lesley Christiansen judged our challenge and she is a quilter, tutor and judge with many years experience in the quilting retail world.

First was 'Slight Envy' by Dorothy Dixon

The Tui and the Kiwi are both native birds in New Zealand - the Tui has a beautiful and colourful song and the kiwi is a flightless nocturnal bird.

Second was Tom and Jerry's 'Halloween HI-JINKS' by Rosemary Hancett

Third was 'Three Wishes' by Karen Livingstone

There were two merits and they were given to 'Laughter' by Denise Lee and 'Anticipation' by Tina Gillard.

The other entries were:

All of the entries were absolutely amazing and I am so proud of everyone for entering and giving it a go, it isn't easy putting yourself and your work out for judging and public display like that.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing all of the entries, please come back to see more of the exhibition in future posts.

Happy stitching everyone
